Have Mercy...but What If the Unspeakable Happens...?

[BOB in GA]

I don’t post much, and have seldom, if ever created a thread, but then again I’ve never seen my beloved Vols where they are right now. Let it be clearly stated that I BELIEVE we will win this Saturday, but then again I absolutely thought we would have won last Saturday with no problems.

So...WHAT IF we lose to BYU (surely not), lose to Chattanooga (Lord have mercy), and then get destroyed by Florida in the Swamp? Does anyone at all survive with an 0-4 start, and we’re suddenly facing the distinct previously unspeakable possibility of going completely, 100% winless in 2019?

*BTW, I hate the negative tone of my own post, and it’s not my nature to think this way...but after last week maybe it bears discussion...

It is possible...After watching last weeks disaster I only have them winning 2 games.....Chattanooga and UAB...The rest will be brutal beatings unlike anything we have ever seen at Tennessee.

If we can look as good as last years Auburn and Kentucky games, then there is hope. A drastic change must happen though.

UAB went 11-2 last year and are always a little dangerous to play no matter their record.

All of your scenarios have a high chance of happening..0-4.

What happens? Tennessee goes winless and Pruitt goes bye bye and the program is officially dead. It will continue to be a fetid corpse in a ditch until someone finds a way to work some magic to resurrect it.

If we are 0-3, there is absolutely no chance Pruitt gets a 4th game.....

you should keep it that way...

I'd expect Pruitt's dad to come to Knoxville, march him into Fulmer's office, and make him resign for ruining his good name.

Thanks for the support...just when you feel that we’re all in this mess together, some @sshole seems to pop up to prove me wrong.

I’m old enough to remember when the President (Nixon) just said “F it, I’m outa here” and flew away on a helicopter. I suppose anything could happen.

Nope. Tee gets promoted and we pray to god he’s Dabo 2.0

No Bama fan or FU Gator fan would ever say that. The powers that be expect Vols fans to be that accepting.

0-3 most likely means 0-12 or 1-11

It was a joke

Sorry. My PTSD kicked in.

Sorry. My PTSD kicked in.

We all have it now man. You can't be a fan of this team for as long as most of us have without being at the brink of insanity.

 

[G8rh8r]

At this point, I think it’s a real possibility.

That said, I hope it isn’t because I have zero faith in the administration to not bungle the next hire. Another coaching search, especially the way we do coaching searches, would be the final nail in the coffin....we are on life support as is

If we lose to Chattanooga, Pruitt will be fired within 24 hours....

 

[Ten_Titans]

Is it REALLY unthinkable to suggest we lose to BYU? This is a 50/50 game at best.

 

[volfannbama]

If we are 0-3, pruitt should absolutely be fired. Let Chaney or MArtin coach the uf game.

You mean 24 minutes?
